Columbus (US), Nov 22 (AP) Her Trump-endorsed Republican rival said on Friday that he had called Democratic US Rep. Marcy Kaptur to concede defeat in the 2024 election. In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, fourth-term state Rep. Derek Merrin did not rule out running for Kaptur's seat again in two years, but he said his immediate plans were to rest and recharge with his family. The race for Ohio's 9th Congressional District was not settled until this Wednesday, when official results landed Kaptur ahead of Merrin by about 2,300 votes, or 0.7 per cent of the vote. That narrowly averted the automatic recount that would have been triggered at 0.5 per cent. Libertarian Tom Pruss, whose campaign was boosted by more than USD 400,000 from the pro-Democrat Voter Protection Project, won more than 4 per cent of the vote. Merrin pointed to the contest's huge price tag as evidence Republicans were competitive against the longest-serving woman in Congress. “Guys, they spent over USD 10 million against us. Democrats propped up a third party candidate to siphon votes from us, they hit us hard for almost 100 days in the media, and, that's life, man, that's politics," he said. "We were fortunate enough to have the money to get our message out, and outside groups were able to talk about Marcy's record, and it was mainly a fair fight that way — and Marcy Kaptur got more votes than we did, and I accept that.” Merrin pledged to help the other GOP candidates who were successful in the state, as he faces a term limit in the Legislature at year's end. That includes President-elect Donald Trump, who won Ohio for the third time November 5, and Bernie Moreno, who unseated veteran Democratic US Sen. Sherrod Brown. “We stood up for our Constitution, we fought for lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, set a vision out for more prosperity in northwest Ohio and we weren't able to win," Merrin said, "but our message and team across America won".

It's no secret that humans produce large amounts of plastic waste globally. But the exact scale of that quantity is often difficult to conceptualize. At " The Future of Plastics: Reducing Waste and Rethinking Materials ," an event sponsored by Kia, environmental experts and stakeholders gathered at Newsweek 's office at One World Trade Center in New York City on Wednesday, December 4, to discuss the current state of the plastic pollution problem and possible solutions. In his opening remarks, Newsweek Chief Strategy Officer Dayan Candappa presented a graphic from the University of California , Santa Barbara, and the University of California, Berkeley, depicting the potential future of plastic waste as a blue mountain of plastic water bottles towering over New York City. Without action, researchers estimate that the world will generate enough plastic trash between now and 2050 to "cover Manhattan in a heap of plastic ten times the height of the Empire State Building." "Now you are gathered here because you hope for a different future. But hope is not a strategy," Candappa said. "We know that if you step back and convene a group of people committed to a strategy, the view on the horizon can look quite different." Newsweek Environment and Sustainability Editor Jeff Young moderated the discussion, which featured panelists who are working to change the way industries produce and reuse plastic materials along the supply chain. Panelists included Jessica Long, chief strategy officer and head of Closed Loop Partners' operating group Closed Loop Builders; Erin Simon, the vice president and head of plastic waste and business at the World Wildlife Fund; U.S. Plastics Pact CEO Jonathan Quinn; Mars Global Vice President of Packaging Sustainability Allison Lin; and Dr. Leonardo Trasande from the NYU Center for the Investigation of Environmental Hazards. This event came days after the United Nations ended its fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee , referred to as INC-5, without a treaty to limit plastic waste pollution globally. The talks will continue next year, and the panelists were optimistic that more time will lead to a better overall treaty. Since the commitment was made in 2022 to solve the plastic waste problem, Erin Simon of the World Wildlife Fund said there has been a wave of momentum around how stakeholders can take action to solve it. "What gives me the most hope is that throughout this process, you usually see a whittling of ambition because of compromise and the need for consensus. And what I saw, and what we've seen over the last five [sessions], is an increase in ambition," she said during the panel. "It was almost like countries realized that they wouldn't have to do it alone, but they could do it in partnership with other businesses and there was a lot of attraction on how to fund this and create sustainable economic business models." Kristyn Oldendorf, the senior director of public policy and communication for the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), was one of the guests who attended the event. "I appreciated that it was a good range of perspectives [and] the different areas of expertise as well," she told Newsweek following the panel discussion. "It was helpful to hear about the role of policy as well as what's going on now voluntarily that brands are doing and thinking about recycling [and] what actions the treaty can take to really help stem plastic pollution." She added that it was inspiring to hear panelists talk about the importance of collaboration to find solutions. Oldendorf attended the previous session of U.N. plastic treaty negotiations and shared that she wasn't surprised that no agreement on a treaty was made at INC-5. But she agrees with the panelists that a better version of an agreement is yet to come. "Seeing how many stakeholders were there and committed to the issue...and bringing together such a global audience on this one issue, that's a lot of potential in itself," she said. "I share that hopefulness that the next round of conversation will lead to something more." In the meantime, solutions are happening every day around the world. While the current state of plastic waste production is daunting, Jessica Long of Closed Loop Partners said that recycling in the U.S. is "promising," taking a more optimistic view than her fellow panelists. "Where it works, and there are many great examples of our recycling across the country, it works really well," she said. With the right infrastructure and technology, facilities can sort "good materials" from waste that can go back into the supply chain and out of landfills. This can reduce the production of new plastics as well as the amount of materials being shipped globally. "Fortunately, we have a ton of demand for recycled content," she said. "We have enough demand that we should be building the right collection infrastructure, the right certification infrastructure, the right processing infrastructure to turn that material back into packaging." Long mentioned an example of a pilot reuse project in Petaluma, California. The Petaluma Reusable Cup initiative creates a system for patrons to reuse cups from local restaurants, cafes and coffee shops in an effort to cut down on waste. "We'll have full results out early in 2025, but the early results are very promising because it's showing that in the day, people want to do the right thing," she said. "People don't want to create more waste. They are looking for solutions, they're looking for things that are easy at the end of the day that will allow them to participate, and solutions and economies that don't produce waste."WORCESTER, Mass.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick Canadian freestyle skier star Mikael Kingsbury is juggling both moguls and fatherhood. The 32-year-old Olympic and world champion from Deux-Montagnes, Que., opens his World Cup season Saturday in Ruka, Finland, with partner Laurence Mongeon and their infant son Henrik in tow. Henrik was born Aug. 25. "It changes your life, that's for sure," Kingsbury said Tuesday from Ruka in a media conference call. "Get used to waking up in the middle of the night, but at the same time, it is the most beautiful thing in the world. "It brings a beautiful balance to my career." While Kingsbury acknowledges there are great hockey players named Henrik, he says the inspiration for the name was his niece liking a boy named Henrik in her kindergarten class. "I always liked the name anyway," Kingsbury said. "Laurence and I agree it fits his face. "I didn't ski as much this summer because I wanted to be home and I wanted to be present. We're five weeks on the road for the start of this season, so I couldn't see myself doing five weeks without seeing my kid. "I would have missed my family too much, so I brought them on the road for three weeks." Regarded as the most dominant moguls skier of all time, the Canadian achieved another significant milestone last season when he surpassed Swedish alpine skier Ingemar Stenmark for the most all-time World Cup victories by a male athlete in any ski discipline. Kingsbury embarks on his 16th World Cup season with a career 90 victories. He's finished in the medals in 129 of 151 career World Cup starts. But while Kingsbury claimed last season's dual moguls crown, Japan's Ikuma Horishima challenged Kingsbury's reign by claiming his first crystal globe in moguls. "The mindset is still the same. The goals are still the same," Kingsbury said. "Coming into the season, I want to focus on one race at a time. That's how you get to a crystal globe. "The main focus is being consistent, staying healthy to start the season, try to get the momentum of the start and stay healthy until the end of this season. "I usually start strong, and I can finish very strong, and that's how you win crystal globes." Kingsbury won an Olympic moguls gold medal in 2018 and silver in both 2014 and 2022. Dual moguls makes its Olympic debut in 2026 in Milan-Cortina, Italy. Kingsbury has swept both moguls and dual moguls gold medals in three straight world championships. He'll attempt the double a fourth time March 18-21 in Engadin, Switzerland. "Henrik and my family now are my priority and skiing comes second, but I know I can still win," Kingsbury said. "It's going to be different. My family is going to be home and it might be a bit more difficult, but at the same time I see a lot of positive in being a dad. I feel way more relaxed on the mountain." One secret to Kingsbury's success has been his durability. His only major injury hiccup so far was fracturing two vertebrae in his back training in Ruka ahead of the 2020-21 season. Kingsbury sat out the first three World Cups and won the fourth upon return to action. He's closer to the end of his career than the beginning, so quality training, not quantity, is important to him. "As I get older, I cannot do too much, but I've got to do the right amount and make sure I can peak in 2026," he explained. "The challenge is going to be the best dad I can and the best skier I can and try to manage in the middle. It's never going to be perfect, but I'm to do as best as I can and make sure I'm ready in 2026. "I feel fortunate for all the team (members) that I have around me, teammates, and all the coaches and staff that are working with me. They're going to make my life easy when it's going to be difficult." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024. Donna Spencer, The Canadian Press See a typo/mistake?

As No. 16 Colorado prepares to finish out the regular season against Oklahoma State this week, NFL personnel appear to be paying close attention to the Buffaloes' draft-eligible prospects. Deion Sanders' Buffaloes may have a pair of top five 2025 NFL draft selections, as star quarterback Shedeur Sanders and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter continue to be highly regarded by draft experts. According to Athlon Sports' latest mock draft , Hunter (Jacksonville Jaguars) and Sanders (Tennessee Titans) are taken off the board with the first two overall picks. Hunter leads the Big 12 in receptions (82) and receiving touchdowns (11) while leading Colorado in interceptions (3) and pass breakups (9). Sanders sits second in the country in passing touchdowns (30) and fifth in passing yards (3,488). © Nick Tre. Smith-Imagn Images Sanders, a senior, plans to graduate in the winter and prepare for the NFL draft. He passed up that opportunity in 2023 and has seemingly benefited from the decision after putting together a career year. In an appearance in a video created by Deion Sanders Jr . on Tuesday, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen is seen speaking with Deion Sanders off to the side of a Colorado practice. Schoen and the Giants recently released franchise quarterback Daniel Jones, who signed a four-year, $160 million deal in March of 2023. New York (2-9) initiated the change at the position after the Giants continued to struggle offensively this season. New York Giants Gm Joe Schoen was at Colorado Practice today 👀 🎥 : @DeionSandersJr pic.twitter.com/wwcpciQgaY The Giants are expected to be one of the few teams at the top of the draft who will be in the hunt for their next franchise quarterback. In the meantime, New York has turned to former undrafted free agent Tommy DeVito, who saw time last season with Jones recovering from a knee injury. Sanders could be the answer for Schoen's Giants, who rank 28th in the league with just 2,067 passing yards through 11 games. Sanders (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) has amassed 6,718 passing yards with 57 touchdowns to 10 interceptions in two years with the Buffaloes after transferring from Jackson State. The Buffaloes (8-3) will attempt to keep their Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff hopes alive on Friday as they take on Oklahoma State (3-8). Kickoff is set for noon ET (ABC).
